Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 289 hymnals Topics: Reformation Day Lyrics: 1. Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone,
chosen of the Lord and precious,
binding all the church in one;
Holy Zion's help forever,
and her confidence alone.
2. To this temple, where we call you,
come, O Lord of Hosts and stay;
With all your loving-kindness
hear you people as they pray,
and your fullest benediction
shed within its walls today.
3. Grant, we pray, to all your faithful
all the gifts they ask to gain;
what they gain from you forever
with the blessed to retain,
and hereafter in your glory
evermore with thee to reign.
4. Praise and honor to the Father,
praise and honor to the Son,
praise and honor to the Spirit,
ever three and ever one;
one in might and one in glory,
while unending ages run!
Scripture: Psalm 118:21-24 Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER ABBEY Text Sources: Latin hymn, c. 7th century

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; F. H. Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.7 Appears in 674 hymnals Topics: Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
our helper he amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great; and, armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side, the man of God’s own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed his truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours through him who with us sideth;
let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
the body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still;
his kingdom is forever.

How Firm a Foundation
Author: R. Keene Appears in 2,127 hymnals Topics: Reformation First Line: How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
Who unto the Savior for refuge have fled?
Who unto the Savior for refuge have fled?
2 "Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When thro' the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "When thro' fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine,
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 "E'en down to old age my people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne.
6 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, tho' all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no never, no never forsake!"

Our God, our Help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,239 hymnals Topics: Reformation Day Lyrics: 1 Our God, our Help in ages past,
Our Hope for years to come,
Our Shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal Home.
2 Under the shadow of thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5 The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downward by thy flood,
And lost in following years.
6 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
7 Our God, our Help in ages past,
Our Hope for years to come,
Be thou our Guard while troubles last,
And our eternal Home.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.
